Let's continue with the monthy SP-Studio contests! This time the topic is AMERICA (or Americas) and you can upload your pictures to the contest album in the gallery. Go there and click the "upload image" button. We already had contests about Asia and Europe before, so now it's time for the American continent. Create a SP-Studio picture which shows something typical for an American country or the whole continent. Remember there are more countries than the U.S.A. . For example Brazil, Mexico, Canada, Argentina, Venezuela, Peru, Jamaica, Chile, The Bahamas and Cuba. You can make pictures about celebrities, historical events, the landscape and animals, traditions, funny stereotypes, cities, famous movies or politics. So there should be enough possibilities. Tip: The challenge of the contests is to use the existing SP-Studio items in a creative way. It might help to use them not like they are meant to. Remember you can move them by clicking on them.

RULES:

The picture must be created at sp-studio.de and submitted here till March 15th, 11:59 PM (GMT+1).

Add a fitting English title & description (optional). You can link to reference pictures. No text like "VOTE!!!".

If you upload more than one picture for a contest the newest counts and the others are deleted.

When the voting starts registered users can rate the pictures (1-5 stars) till March 31th.

Vote fair! Don't manipulate results by telling friends to give you 5 stars and others 1 star or you will be banned.

PRIZES:

1st place: Make a wish for a new SP-Studio item and I will draw and include it within a month.1st to 5th place: You win your own User Gallery. If you already have one you can upload 30 more files to it now. Janina's Choice: I might pick one additional person, if I think he/she deserves a user gallery. The score doesn't matter.

Congratulations to the winners of the last contest about the topic ANIMALS:Deboh, Dogzilla, Eggyslav, Queef and Till

They can have their own user gallery now and Deboh wins a free wish for a new SP-Studio item. Those who already had their own gallery can upload 30 more pictures now.

A big THANK YOU to everybody who showed his wonderful pictures in this contest!I hope you will join the new one as well!

No, I won't add more body shapes, band shirts or sports trikots. Really.

Most people don't read this page, but I will add a note to the main page. This should help a bit because that's where the big traffic is .I will change the "about" page as well, but the relase numbers only apply to the actuel SP-Studio software.

my tip don't upload the contest in youre gallery exept it's a failed desing befor the voting starts.It's realy annoying to see that people can steal from youre pic or rate it down because they already know it

I would even suggest: Upload it to your gallery when the voting is OVER. Because the voting will be a bit different from the old gallery. You names won't appear next to your pictures, so nobody knows who did them. Of course it is not forbidden to tell which picture is yours, but I think it will be fairer this way for everbody. In the old gallery some complained about being voted down because they already won in the past.

I can see that the new uploading system just uploads the file and gives no option to give a title or to make a description... Then I understand that the name of the file should be the title of the picture, isn't it?

Go HERE and click on the button "upload image". Choose a file from your computer. In the next step you can enter a name and description. So it's just spliited into two steps now, that's the difference .
